Bugs Bunny and the Marlboro Man

How often do you watch television and not see violence, smoking, and drinking? Not very often. Everyday you watch television, and everyday you see one of these acts. You are not the only one who sees this, your children do, too. Every time you turn on the television to watch the news, a cartoon, a movie, or your favorite television series, you see something that is wrong with the world. Even if the shows you are watching don't show the bad things in the world, the commercials do.

Commercials take up about a quarter of the airtime on television. In a half-hour show there are about five to ten minutes of commercials. Most of these commercials, especially during sports events, contain smoking or drinking. You see a camel wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket, or the Marlboro Man on his horse, and you think, "Hey they're pretty cool," so decide to start smoking. How many times have you heard, "Here's that frog commercial," and went running to the television to see what they were doing now? You might start thinking that they are cool, so go and try their product, which is just the thing the advertisement is trying to do.

Popular TV series also play a role as bad influences. Many shows have the main character smoking or drinking. Take Rosanne, for instance; the opening scene shows her sitting around a table playing poker, while her husband smokes a cigar and drinks a beer. In Married With Children, another show, Al sits around the house reading pornographic material, and while working he ogles the women shopping in his store. Both of these portray a family that does not care about each other. The kids run wild, while the parents argue. Many shows contain a lot of violence. One of the popular children's shows is the Power Rangers, which consists of nothing except fighting. Many children, after watching this show, start punching and kicking people. Also, many "harmless" cartoons portray acts of violence. Many...

...﻿BugsBunnyBugsBunny, the creation of the Looney Tunes, has been called everything from "classic" to "perennial" to "an American institution" to "one of our national heroes"--and "wascally wabbit," "long-eared galoot," and a lot of other things besides! But most of us just like to call him Bugs.
Bugs was voted the most popular in the entire short-subject field in the United States and Canada for the year 1945, and then stayed in the Number One spot for the next 16 years straight. Today Bugs continues to draw a crowd - in fact, a recent survey showed him to be the most popular animated character in the world!
When Bugs' classic cartoons were being made and regularly released to theaters in the 1940s and 1950s, it was his stardom in short subjects that skyrocketed his studio to prominence in the animation field.
Part of Bugs' great achievement had been to establish a strong personality who can exist for 7 minutes at a time, show us a facet of his personality, disappear for weeks, months; maybe years at a time, then reappear and still be recognizable and entertaining. His possibilities were not exhausted by any single episode. a theater's marquee had to say no more than "2 BugsBunny Cartoons" for people to plunk their money down--forgetting what features or other short subjects were playing, forgetting that the "2...

...The Fallujah MarlboroMan
James Blake Miller, a Marine in the U.S Armed Forces, is seen here smoking a cigarette in the field of battle. His face covered in camouflage, blood and sweat. His eyes focused heavily on the horizon, scanning for danger. The edging of his helmet worn and tattered from intense battle, and the expression on his face shows his tiredness. He is a warrior, protecting what we have today in the United States of America.
This picture has been posted in magazines, newspapers, and many other articles across the nation to show the intense fighting going on in Fallujah. He has even been given the name of the "MarlboroMan". James Miller didn't know what all the fuss was about. He told reporters that all he wanted was a smoke. In fact when the published the photo first, it did not even show his name, all it said was "MarlboroMan". But this photo inspired people across the country to be more patriotic and to support the men in Iraq. Even his mother said, "Until my son went into the Marines, I never really realized what that flag stood for -- but now I do." Just the look on his face and the signs of depletion from warfare, carry the meaning of this photo to unbelievable levels.
This photo is not just a picture or a man who is tired, dirty and bloodied, it is a country at the front lines of war. Putting their lives on the line to save the millions...

Cartoon narrative analysis
The episode Fresh Hare of the Looney Tunes is a classic interactive situation between a white, ambitious, American named Elmer Fudd and BugsBunny, the comical, laid-back, carrot-eating bunny rabbit. It entirely involves Elmer trying to catch the un-catchable Bugs while Bugs sets up obstacles and traps for Elmer to amuse himself and make the chase more interesting. The creators manage to make an episode that is both laughable to little children viewers and capable of raising profound questions about human nature to any group of adults viewers. The focus of this episode is merely to demonstrate how superior and in-control BugsBunny is over Elmer Fudd. By using a delusional world where physics and common sense are completely skewed, Looney Tunes‘ shows that having a jocular, light-hearted outlook on life could be the key to happiness, or at least that it is for BugsBunny.
In adult terms, Elmer Fudd is a mentally challenged Mounted guard who was given orders to hunt down a potentially dangerous public enemy: BugsBunny. Rather than just running away as he could easily do, Bugs amuses himself by messing with Elmer in the same way that an orca plays its meal before eating it. It seems as if he needs brainless folk like Elmer to compliment his own wit and give...

...BugsBunny is an American fictional character who starred in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which became Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1944. In 2002, he was named by TV Guide as the best cartoon character of all time. Bugs starred in 163 shorts in the Golden Age of American animation, and made cameos in three others along with a few appearances in non-animated films.
According to BugsBunny: 50 Years and Only One Grey Hare, he was born in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York (in a warren under Ebbets Field, famed home of the Brooklyn Dodgers), created by Tex Avery (who directed A Wild Hare, Bugs Bunny's debut) and Robert McKimson (who created the definitive BugsBunny character design), among many others. According to Mel Blanc, the character's original voice actor, BugsBunny has a Flatbush accent, an equal blend of the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects (of the New York Accent). His catchphrase is a casual "Eh...what's up, doc?", usually said while chewing a carrot. His other popular phrases include "Of course you realize, this means war", "Ain't I a stinker?" and "I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque."
BugsBunny is the main character of the Looney Tunes series.

Scott’s blood test shows that he has excess red blood cells. Identify and describe two causes of this disorder.

Discuss why Martina, who has blood type A, cannot receive blood type B during a transfusion.
Martina has the antigen for blood type A on her red blood cells. During infancy, her body built anti-B antibodies since she lacked that antigen in her blood. If she receives a transfusion of blood type B, her body will already have the anti-B antibodies in place. Agglutination will occur as the anti-B antibodies bind and clump to the foreign B antigen. The red blood cells will be lysed, hemoglobin will be released into the blood stream, and these events could possibly lead to a transfusion reaction.
Explain how the anatomy of a granulocyte differs from that of an agranulocyte.
Granulocytes and agranulocytes are both considered as types of WBCs (white blood cells). This classification is based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules, nuclear shape, and affinity for laboratory stains or dyes. Leukocytes (WBCs) are considered as a main cellular component of blood. WBCs are larger than erythrocytes and are found in less numbers than erythrocytes. Unlike...

...﻿BugsBunny as a Leader
“Eh, what’s up doc?” when you hear that saying, immediately you think of the famous icon BugsBunny. BugsBunny appeared in his first short cartoon, The Wild Hare, in 1940. He has been in many movies and shows like “Space Jam”, “Looney Tunes” and “Daffy Duck’s Fantastic Island”.
Children look up to him because he is very resourceful. He can sway a discussion by his clever use of words. He knows how to win; he uses whatever is available to his advantage. He succeeds where others fail because he waits for the opponent to make the first move.
With BugsBunny, fair is fair. He has demonstrated that even the weakest among us should be protected. For example, he watches out for little bunnies, lost penguins and old ladies. He has charisma and charm that wins people over and inspires devotion. BugsBunny always has new ideas up his sleeve because he never doubts that he will find a solution if he keeps trying. He always wins because he tries his hardest to outsmart and outwit every opponent. The audience always loves a winner, especially a witty one!
He has outsmarted everyone from Elmer Fudd to the genius Wile E. Coyote. Also he is a master of exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses, such as Emler Fudd’s gullibility and Yosimite Sam’s temper. BugsBunny forces his...

...Candy is "a tall, stoop-shouldered old man … . He was dressed in blue jeans and carried a big push-broom in his left hand." His right hand is simply a stump because he lost his hand in a ranch accident. Now the owners of the ranch keep him on as long as he can "swamp" out or clean the bunkhouse. Candy gives Steinbeck an opportunity to discuss social discrimination based on age and handicaps. Candy represents what happens to everyone who gets old in American society: They are let go, canned, thrown out, used up. Candy's greatest fear is that once he is no longer able to help with the cleaning he will be "disposed of." Like his old dog, he has lived beyond his usefulness.
Candy and his dog parallel the relationship of George and Lennie. Like Candy's dog, Lennie depends on George to take care of him and show him what to do. Candy, like George, is different from the other ranch hands because he has his dog as a constant companion, someone devoted and loyal to him. When the unfeeling Carlson suggests that Candy's dog be put out of its misery, Candy abdicates the responsibility to Carlson. He tells George later that he should have shot his dog himself, foreshadowing George's decision to take responsibility for Lennie's death and "be his brother's keeper."
Candy also plays a significant role in the dream, providing the money needed to make the down payment. Because of Candy, the dream almost becomes real. Candy's down payment causes George to believe that,...
